We are Lou Draper and David Cormack from Draper Cormack Group. We're a PR firm that does the usual PR firm things. Media relations, publicity, strategic communications, government relations - you know. PR things. 

We also do awards nominations. And we're very good at putting your best foot forward for you. In our short lifespan (less than a year) we've had multiple clients make the finals of prestigious national awards and many have gone on to win.

Why would I use Draper cormack group to enter awards?

Entering awards can be time consuming and very resource intensive. Sometimes you have to write nearly essay-length submissions. We take the burden of doing that and you know that we'll do a good job. Just this year alone we've had the following success:

2016 ITx Awards

• We wrote the entries for five clients
• Four became finalists in three categories
• Of the six awards that were up for grabs, our clients won three of them - every category we had a client in, we won.
• This included the two supreme awards: Young IT Professional of the Year and IT Professional of the Year.

2016 Innovation Awards

• We entered a client in the Innovation in Technology category for the Innovation Awards, not only did they make the final but they were also included in the Emerging Innovator of the Year Award - one of the supreme awards.

2016 Women of influence awards

• We entered a client in the 2016 Women of Influence Awards and she became a finalist in that category.

2017 New Zealander of the year awards

• Off the back of the success we'd had with a particular client in the ITx Awards and the Innovation Awards, they were asked to enter the New Zealand Innovator of the Year Award by the organisers of the New Zealander of the Year Awards.
